Thanks For Nothing, Amy!

Thursday, August 7th, 2008
Spike TV's "Scream 2007" - Arrivals

Hey, Amy! Amy Lee, lead singer of Evanescence and semi-goth chick who seems to dig corsets as much as me. Can I have a word with you?

I go to all the trouble of having a HUGE, multi-layered voting battle and crown you Patron Saint of this very blog and you have done exactly NOTHING newsworthy in the ENTIRE time since. For crying out loud, throw something at your personal assistant or maybe attack a clerk at Target. Something… heck, anything!

Help a brother out!

I mean, seriously, Mary Alice from Ace of Cakes ACTUALLY wrote me and sent me pictures. Don’t think I won’t revoke your status. Maybe Mary Alice can take a swing at a law enforcement officer every once and awhile.

And The Results Are In…

The Patron Saint Battle is over.

And in a heated battle, Amy Lee of Evanescence took the victory by a score of 20-12 over Mary Alice of ‘Ace of Cakes’. Amy Lee will be awarded the title of ‘Patron Saint’ for Patrick Says. As well as the title, Amy Lee also wins the crown (currently at a pawn shop), a vegetable bouquet (which we’ll be using for a stew tomorrow…fingers crossed) and the prize money totaling $1.98. (That’s our budget, Amy!) Contact me for your prize money.

Congratulations to all those who voted and to all the nominees. Thanks.

Another Patron Saint Update…

Friday, December 7th, 2007

Okay, the third round is nearly complete. Here’s how it went. Kate Winslet made short work of Rogue. In the second battle, Amy Lee and Elisha Cuthbert finished dead even at eight votes each. In the event of a tie, I pick my favorite and I choose Amy Lee. So, Kate Winslet are two of the three finalists.

The Gabrielle Union / Mary Alice battle is still underway although Mary Alice has a healthy lead and is virtually assured the victory.

How are we doing the final round?

All three finalists will be voted. One vote per person. At the end of a week, the lowest vote gets eliminated. Then for one week, the two finalists go head to head. At the end of that voting period, the highest number of votes is declared the new patron saint of this blog.

What can the winner expect? Besides undying love? A picture on the home page and an RSS feed of their very own. So, good luck to all!
